Compared to last week: Best test on yearling steers from 800 lbs to 849 lbs were steady to 3.00 higher, yearling heifers from 900 lbs to 949 lbs were steady to 10.00 higher. Steer calves from 400 lbs to 549 lbs were 15.00 to 30.00 higher, steers from 550 lbs to 599 lbs were 8.00 to 10.00 higher. Heifer calves from 450 lbs to 499 lbs were 20.00 to 30.00 higher. Other weight classes not will compared. Good to very good demand for yearlings today, as most were off grass and light to medium fleshed. An active market on the yearlings as the availability of yearling decreases week after week. Big run of spring born calves in todays offering with most having two rounds of shots and were right off the cow. Calves were light fleshed and attractive for quality. A big crowd of buyers were on hand competing with internet buyers made for an active market. Sharply lower futures market had little affect on todays auction as buyer continue to cautiously refill empty pens. Next feeder sale will be Wednesday, October 22nd featuring a special black hided calf sale.
